A practical part of my teaching is to provide demonstrative, hands-on experiences.

We've drifted into this presentation mode without realizing the cost to the content and the audience in the process.

The essential test of design is how well it assists the understanding of the content, not how stylish it is.

I do believe that there are some universal cognitive tasks that are deep and profound - indeed, so deep and profound that it is worthwhile to understand them in order to design our displays in accord with those tasks.

Simple design, intense content.

What is to be sought in designs for the display of information is the clear portrayal of complexity. Not the complication of the simple; rather the task of the designer is to give visual access to the subtle and the difficult - that is, revelation of the complex.

Clutter is not a property of information. Clutter is a failure of design.
